Anyone on here used these? you cant see the backs of them from the photo so do they come with everything needed to fit them?

I bought a set of the silver ones with clear lenses (Only used these). If you plan on using just the lenses like i did on original backings you will need to build the lugs up on the lenses themselves as they are loose otherwise. Overall the indi's are ok buildwise and fit as standard. I sold them on to royster81 as the clears just did not suit the rvf really so stuck with ambers.

Buy them, they are worth it. I've them on my bike too. Just paint the bulbs orange and you're sorted.

89 and 90 jap nc30's came with a slim line indicator and from 91 on they were the same as the nc35 and nc29, you can get slim line clear lense, paulbfd had some on his 89 bike and the first set i got from japan with poshfirm one's but i sent them back cause i needed the later 91 shape

get them tony, i like the look of them on the bike as i think it takes the old look off the amber lense

Yep totally agree with that royster. Im gunna go for these and paint the housings white to match the paint, do you know if i need the stalks from the standard indicators to mount them?

The posh ones are nice but these look almost identical and for less than half the price, by the time ive got 4 posh lenses from japan your looking at £60-£70! i got more important things to spend money on, even if it is on the RVF :grin:

yep that sound like what i paid for the poshfirm one's only to get them home and crack two putting them on ! not to impressed with myself that day...

to be honest the housings are weird,where the holes are for mounting them to the panel and were the wires come through sometimes don't match the rubber block thing between the casing and the panel, if you can get some oe casing's and use them.

and if you look for NSR250 ones they come in white as standard or red. thats what is on the castrol.
